Francis Clerke, f. 1594, English civilian. This work was finished in 1596, but not published until after the author’s death. As pointed out in the note to the Praxis curiæ Admiralitatis the STC does not distinguish between these two books, and, listing the three editions of the former work above this one, describes this as the “Second Edition” in inverted commas. It is correctly described as the second edition. The first edition was published in Dublin in 1666 and no other editions appeared until this one of 1684. The other entries in the STC refer to the Praxis curiæ Admiralitatis. This edition was edited by Thomas Bladen. See also no. 2111.
